Not sure about it being early access. I don't want to play a half finished game, especially not if every update resets progression.

He just makes things different for the sake of being different not for the sake of being better. I'll take a proven formula over kojima's any day. Death Stranding could've been good if it had proven mechanics instead of "Oh, I'm so edgy and unique". He is the modern artist equivalent of...

They would do that if their intent was indeed for most people to enjoy their games. But it's clearly not. They know they can sell 1000 $100 skins to whales but not sure if they can 100.000 1$ skins to normal people.

I usually end up wildly underestimating my spending on my hobbies when I think I'm highballing it :D

For Ubisoft it's actually: " The more you buy, the less obstacles we roll in front of your enjoyment" I have no problem with microtransactions that provide new content (a new skin is not new content).

I don't recall if it happened before, but even one CTD is one too many. I started a new game in 2.3, but when the game was supposed to load the ripperdoc UI it crashed to desktop instead. I couldn't be bothered to try again to see if it is a persistent issue or a one time glitch.

I actually had good luck with the game close to release, it had bugs but it didn't crash. It was also stable when I played Phantom Liberty, with patch 2.1. 18 months ago. I haven't played the game in a year, and I wanted to see the new features they added with 2.2 and 2.3 patches, but it seems...

After 5 effing years you'd think they eliminated CTD, but nope.

I'd change that to "sexy sells". There was no overt sex in games before the crackdown on the "male gaze" has begun in the 2010s. Ironically the only game that I know of that has crude sex in it is the last of us 2, which is considered "safe horny". So it's not that people want sex in games, we...

Ah, the classic: "We think players are stupid, otherwise they'd be playing our masterpiece" Because there is nothing like getting people to play your game like being condescending.

Then pull funding before it fails on its own :LOL: Fits right into MS's mo.

I wanna say I agree, but I can't even claim to be sad. The only good thing Romero did since Doom was giving Warren Spector the means to make Deus Ex. Basically still a one-trick pony 32 years later.

"We are not closing, we're just going out of business" - basically this

EA only shut down studios after they released a game, not before they even had a chance.

Buy every studio possible Close them down before any project is completed What was the strategy here, scorched Earth?

I wonder if they are willing to pull the plug on 10 with it still sitting on hundreds of millions of PCs just 90 days to deadline. I have to say I'm still hoping for a last minute decision to not go through with slowly turning half of the world's windows PCs into a botnet. I sure as hell...

Is that an official app? I've never heard about it, and searching the net just gave a bunch of suspect sites posing as official sites that I'm not comfortable downloading and running an app from.

Exactly, with respect to a few exceptions, indie and AA developers are just as greedy leeches as the big bad companies. Some of them literally re-releases the same game every 12-16 months with minor changes, and you don't even get a discount if you already had the version before that, which also...

And with nintendo you don't even own the HW, they will literally brick it remotely if you do something they don't approve of. You call that ownership? My exact point was that I want games that I wouldn't want to sell. I never sold a PC game in my entire life, even when that was still possible...

Except older titles don't need any of it. But even if they did, more aggressive upscaling and more fake frames? No, thanks, I'll pass.
